[Request Plugin] Welcome new member on news feed

[Peter]

I think it's because of a change on ProBoards side. Anyone using the older code, please post your forum if it's still working.

I've updated the code on the first page, try it now

<script>

 

var user = '$[newest_user.escaped]';

var forum = '$[forum.name.escaped]';

    $("#news .items").prepend("<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'><b>Please Welcome Our Newest Member " + user + " to the \"" + forum + "\"</b></div>");

</script>

Hi, Peter

I have been using the old code for quite awhile since you first posted it
And have had no problem with it - All seems to be working with the OLD CODE on my forum

thecreativepen.proboards.com/

(((( NOTE THE CODE BELOW IS THE OLD CODE ))))

Goto...

Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates

Click on "Home".

Under "$[news"]", add this script.

<script>

var user = '$[newest_user.escaped]';
var forum = '$[forum.name.escaped]';

$("#news .items").prepend("<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Please welcome our newest member " + user + " to the \"" + forum + "\"</div>");

</script>

If anyone wants to enlarge the news feed there is a code for it. If you look on my homepage you can check it out.

Very strange why the old code works, ah well, thanks for letting me know

I put this code in.

$[news]
<script>

var forum = "$[forum.name.escaped]";
var html = "";

html += "<div style='width: 895px; float: left;'>Welcome our newest member ";
html += "<a href='/user/$[newest_user.id]'><b>$[newest_user.name.escaped]</b> to \"" + forum + "\"</div>";

$("#news .items > div").prepend(html);

</script>

I ended up with two newsfeeders and only with the newest member on both. I have two other messages on my news section that are not showing.

Hoping you can help.

[Peter]

Try changing this line...

$("#news .items > div").prepend(html);

To this...

$("#news .items").prepend(html);

If that still causes an issue, I'll look at it properly in the morning and release a properly working code.

I am sorry it still didn't work.

I only got one news section but on that line only "My latest member" showed. My other two news lines don't show.

I am confused.

I tried the new code just now on my test site and had exactly the same problem as Steve, way back in November last year, but the code in his post above on Feb 23rd works perfectly.

[Peter]

The code in my first post on the first page works fine for me on a vanilla forum.

If anyone has problems with that code, post a link to your forum so I can see what the issue is, because as it is, it should work fine.
